  1. Agree with both of your picks - but especially Tessa Dare. Her books have a funny streak going through them, which I love. I would go for her Girl Meets Duke series over Spindle Cove. My other picks would be any of Sarah MacLean's books, any of Courtney Milan's books, and Eloisa James' The Wildes of Lindow Castle series.
  2. Was going to try watching one episode a day but ended up finishing it all today! It's fantastic, I loved all the nods to the books with all the new updates. I was going to quote posts above, but realized it would be like literally every single post above mine. Please let there be a season 2. Coming up to four months in quarantine, and I have times when it seems like nothing I'm trying to watch is interesting and I have no attention span longer than 5 minutes and have no interest to pick up a book, so thankful this came out now and pulled me out of my funk.
  3. So glad I went in unspoiled. Gasped a few times, was not expecting it to go where it did at all. Such a good movie with fantastic acting from everyone. On a shallow note, the set design of the Park home was beautiful. I would be interested in finding out more about the housekeeper, and what happened after she was fired, so the show sounds interesting.
  4. Them reaching for each other got me 😭😭😭😭😭 💔 #WestAllen forever! Seriously, Candice and Grant's acting is the only reason that there is any emotion in the rushed dialogue and scenes between them. They always bring it. I am always imagining better scenes for them then we ever actually get. Heck, you guys have better idea's here, about upping the emotional stakes and better storytelling. Also 100% agree with your posts @phoenics in regards to Crisis; it has nothing to do with any other show or character being the lead in this crossover. What is left for the big overarching storyline for The Flash now? When we're done with Crisis is the newspaper headline gone from the Vault? Overall, still enjoying the crossover, just not thinking to hard about any of the science or plotholes.
  5. That's the dream! I really liked it, good WestAllen scenes plus nice Team Flash moments. Also I love Chester, he's so fun.

    Aladdin (2019)

    Um... yes to this whole part^^^. I was like to my cousin after the movie that I want Jasmine's hair accessories, and since I'm Indian, will try to get some outfits in the same colour combos Jasmine has. Just gorgeous! I laughed way to much at this part. I thought it was a great movie, different enough yet for me it did have the magic of the original too.
  7. Another thing I love about the movie is the score. I just found the Vevo playlist on YouTube, it is brilliant. I usually don't notice the background music but it works really well in this movie. The one titled, "Whatever it Takes," is ❤️❤️. As soon as I hear it it takes me back to the theater seeing Steve watching Peggy through the glass 😭 and Tony talking to his dad.
  8. She should be really close to Sam now, since they were on the run together with Natasha and Steve after Civil War. And she wouldn't want to be too much in the front where Steve was or with Clint's family. Last time they saw each other, Wanda was in prison and Tony was part of the reason, so I'm sure she had conflicted feelings about Tony.
  9. I wanted to see it in IMAX this weekend since I haven't seen it in that format yet, and all the good seats are gone again! I finally managed a Wednesday afternoon screening next week. But ended up seeing it again today in a smaller cinema with regular screen and it was just as good. This is my third time watching it and it was great to see everyone's reactions to things I knew were coming up. I actually cried more than the other 2 times as well. I started welling up when we see Morgan for the first time, and Natasha being the leader of the team, as well as the major emotional moments. There was a dad with his daughter a few rows ahead of me who had to console her at the end after she got a little emotional 😭 and a man that literally said "NO!" when he realized that Iron Man was dead dead. Also this time I really noticed what a great job both RDJ and Chris Evans did.
  10. These two moments made me want to get up and cheer!
  11. The movie definitely hit harder with me the second time I watched it. I was sobbing when the title card reads Voromir. Scarlett Johansson is not my favorite actress but she was great in this movie the whole way through. Trying so hard to hold it together after they realize the stones are gone, finding out about what Clint was up to, and then the "it's ok, let me go." 😭😭 And as soon as they start passing off the gauntlet I was tearing up, and was ugly crying while trying to be quiet. Till the end with Steve and Peggy dancing, 😢🥰. I get all the reasons it falls apart with time travel but for me the emotional payoffs were satisfying that I really don't care to much about the inconsistencies. Still love reading all your theories though! @Spartan Girl, as soon as I saw Ross at the funeral I thought about the fact you would hate it!
  12. I loved it totally, heartbreak and everything. So many unexpected laughs, a few cries and all the nods to the last 10? years. I think this movie encapsulates what it means to say bittersweet. "America's ass" killed everytime it came up. So good to see so many faces from the past, present and possibly the future of the MCU.
  13. Am I the only one who doesn't like the title? It just seems so weird and out of place compared to all the other episode titles.

    Shazam! (2019)

    I really liked it; it was funny and loved the dynamic between all the foster kids. There were 2 6-10 year old brothers that were with their father that absolutely loved every part of this! Zachary Levi was fantastic. This is definitely a movie to watch with a big movie crowd, I think.
  15. I watch too! Yep, that part was great. My heart was racing just like Billy's when Danielle was trying to get tickets. Great moment in sports indeed.
  16. 🤣 🤣🤣 that's fantastic! Poor guy.
  17. People are pissed at Cineplex. Apparently you could get tickets at midnight, and they didn't put out an announcement till 8. I just happened to wake up as I needed to go to the bathroom and tickets were available at 6:30am for sure, that's when I got mine. But to be fair to Cineplex, it seemed like they were slowly updating their showtimes for different theatres, not all locations were ready to go at 6:30. I could see the updates when I refreshed. I ended up buying for the Opening Night Fan Event and then 12 for Saturday afternoon, no IMAX though 😐. Tickets were flying, all the IMAX screens were filling up. (I will once again complain about the fact that Cineplex is pushing stupid 3D for IMAX screens. The good showtimes in IMAX are with 3D, while the midafternoon and late night times are regular IMAX.) Stop it Cineplex! Can't a girl get an IMAX screening for late afternoon, early evening please.
  18. I don't know how to feel about this movie. I only went because my cousin wanted to see it, I usually try to avoid movies that I know are going to try to be emotional and make me cry. This one felt over the top by the end. Stella was fine in the beginning and I enjoyed how seriously she did take her treatment; I hate stories where the sick patient is lackadaisical about their care and treatment. But gotta agree with @IWantCandy71 by the end I was like "really lady, way to be super selfish." I mean did she think that Will would never find out about the new lungs and wouldn't feel guilty about it. And way to try to get both yourself and the person you "love" killed. I mean I did cry, but as I've said before I am very easily emotionally manipulated by movies, so that was a given, and I appreciate the director and actors wanted to spotlight a real disease but even I could tell that it was going overboard to try to have multiple fakeouts.

    Shazam! (2019)

    Just a FYI for Canadians, Cineplex is having advance screenings of Shazam on Saturday March 23. 2 weeks early! I'm contemplating how to go about ditching some plans already made for Saturday.
  20. I was looking back to last year and when I purchased tickets and it was on March 16th. Both movies came/come out on the last weekend in April, they should be up for sale soon. Although in Canada for Cineplex they usually come out a few days after they are already available in the US. Poor Cineplex social media intern, every other tweet at them is when are tickets going on sale for Endgame!

    Aladdin (2019)

    I am cautiously optimistic about this. This trailer was a lot better than all the other promotional video and pictures they put out. And the new poster looks great too. Please be good, 🤞

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    I loved it so much. It's up there as one of my favourites. It was funny, and emotional and really heartfelt for me. Maria and Carol are ❤️, Goose is the best and the Skrulls were not what I was expecting at all. My sister and I loved the montage too! It was fantastic. Her finding strength in her humanity was great. Did anyone else think that Captain Rogers was looking extra beautiful in the mid credit scene? When he popped up on the screen I turned to my sisters and was like whoa! he looks so good. I think its the beard. It's missing in the Endgame trailers so seeing it again was like 😍 😍😍 I also loved main credit sequence before the mid credits. They were gorgeous.

    Shazam! (2019)

    This looks like a lot of fun! And I will love looking out for Toronto landmarks as it was filmed here.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    @Dani Nope. I already had tickets for 13 people on Saturday night, but was not going to see it again because there are so many movies that I want to see coming out this year and $$ is not unlimited. But I will for sure go for a second round, and all the hate actually made me go out to a mall on a weekend!(so many people) to buy a Captain Marvel shirt from the Disney store. And if that bomber jacket was actually available on the Disney store or online would have bought that too. There are movies made and starring actual horrible humans that people have no problem supporting, so all this fake outrage makes me angry. If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. Not that hard. @Dandesun @raven @Trini @Cranberry your posts are great! I also regret returning my Thursday night ticket. My family was like we want to watch it too so decided I didn't need to go to the 10:00pm show cause have work in the morning and we're going on Saturday anyways. Who needs sleep??
  25. ^^ Same. Was just talking about this with my sister, like, Lady Gaga you are a star why are you pretending your some nobody who just landed in Hollywood! I get that this is her first movie role, but come on, her interviews are so cringe, I can't.
